Frequently Asked Questions

Trade finance and credit enhancement

What is credit enhancement in trade finance?

Credit enhancement introduces additional bank, collateral or contractual support to improve the credit position of a trade transaction or financing facility.

What trade finance instruments can be arranged?

Structures may include documentary letters of credit, UPAS LCs, standby letters of credit, receivables purchase, LC discounting, borrowing-base facilities and inventory finance.

Can the transaction include both an LC and working-capital financing?

Yes. Depending on the commercial flow, an LC or SBLC can sit alongside receivables, inventory or supplier financing within a wider trade finance structure.

Does Financely provide the instrument or financing directly?

No. Financely acts as advisor and arranger. Instruments and financing are provided by third-party banks and financing institutions subject to underwriting and final approval.
